Not available in stores! Buy now! Special price of only $1 for a limited time only. We're up and running!

Go to www.sandboxsimulations.com to sign up. (You can learn more about the game as well.)

For the time being, we set the price to $1, and we can't limit it to just the game testers, so if you're interested, you'll also get the $1 price. Just sign up.

This is a fresh reset, so everyone will have new teams and we'll do a new draft.

Also, please give us any feedback about what you like or don't like, and how we can improve navigation. We've updated all of the systems, so there's a chance that errors are lurking somewhere, but we think we're good to go now. Let us know if something bad happens to you.

I thought I did a good job drafting, etc. I knew going in that my weakness would be in setting up the game plans but damn. 0-4 and the worst damned defense in the league. I knew I should have fired Sutton!!!

Also 3-1; finally unlocked that offense a little w/ a 48 point outburst.

That damn week 3 loss was just awful. Led the whole game and every time I had a chance to put a foot on their throat, I blew it with a turnover or special teams failure. Finally a fumble during 'run out the clock' mode leads to a FG as time expires to lose by 1.

I have a good squad. Defense is less solid than I'd prefer but mostly because it's just pretty static. There's a lot less I can do with it than I could do with the Columbia defense in league 1. I don't feel like I have the depth or complementary skill-sets to mix/match like I was able to do over there.

Jesus my team has full blown Coronavirus. I didn’t get to start drafting till halfway thru but once I started, I used the idea that if guys were good in League 1, surely they’ll be just as good in league 2? Wrong! Goff is real life Goff in league 2. All those guys that were defensive standouts in league 1, league 2 they are nothing but penalty machines. Ugh

First game on the road, vs. the mighty Benton Golden Beavers, I was concerned. But the refs put them away for us. Good game.

Not pleased with the refs....

But damn, y'all will just throw points up in bunches and 3 fumbles just isn't good enough.

I feel like we played a lot of good football and just kept shooting ourselves in the foot

**PHOG** · 04-05-2020, 09:47 PM

Yeah, I wasn't getting much pressure to the QB either, so I changed some things up. 6 sacks helped.

Quarantine get to week 6?

The frustrating thing was that we got pressure at about the same rate, my guys just didn't finish anything.

Giving up 6 sacks on a solid, if unspectacular, pressure rate is just an outlier but it's an outlier that almost certainly cost us the game.

Too many drives with a chance to pull away that ended due to negative plays (sacks, penalties or fumbles). Just one of those games that teams look back on at the end of a season and go "damn, that one stings a LOT..."

When does league 1 do anything again?

I think as soon as cdcox makes a couple of code changes to efficientize them.

Sorry about that. I fell asleep in my chair after dinner. When I woke up I worked on Sandbox for about 3 hours and completely forgot it was Tuesday until I had gone to bed.

I will run them as soon as I adjust my roster and game plan.

**cdcox** · 04-08-2020, 05:45 PM

The sims are going up now.

Just checking on a date so I don’t have to visit this thread every time it’s bumped.

You'll get an email telling you get ready and another one when the 2019 rookie draft starts.

I have to update the code for the rookie draft. I have a few other upgrades I want to make before I work on the rookie draft code.

**PHOG** · 04-08-2020, 09:38 PM

Ok, so I'm bored tonight, so I'm setting my line up for week 7, and my starting CB (Coty Sensabaugh) is now a Safety? Why?

He's been a CB all season.

Not only that, but him being listed as a S now, not a CB, SS or FS, he's NOT available in any DB position. I sure hope this wasn't the case for week

6? He was my starting RCB.
